Health and Safety Advisors new to the pipeline industry and looking for context will also greatly benefit from this course. This certificate is also useful for Field Maintenance Managers/Superintendents/Foremen with relevant experience in another industry needing to augment their experience with specific pipeline operations information (for example those leaving a military role to become civilians). Construction Operators, Technologists, Supervisors, and Engineers who are new to the pipeline industry will find this program very valuable as well.
